A global role with Product Rights > System administration

Data Quality Job

You need one of the following permissions:

Resource roles

Resource roles are assigned as responsibilities. Responsibilities include a resource role and a user or user group which determine who can perform certain activities on the Data Quality Job and Connections resources.

While you can add responsibilities to Connections and Data Quality Jobs, Data Quality Jobs inherit their responsibilities from the connection where they were created.

Data Quality & Observability has the following out-of-the-box resource roles:

Data Quality Editor: A user who can view, edit and run Data Quality Jobs.
Data Quality Manager: A user who can grant access to Data Quality & Observability connections and jobs. They can also view, create, and run jobs.
Data Quality Viewer: A basic user who can only view Data Quality & Observability connections and jobs.
